The equation that relates m to f, given that the area is m when measured in square meters, and f when measured in square feet, is f = 10.8m (option D)

How to determine the equation relating m to f?

From the question given, we observed the following:

  • Area in square meter = m
  • Area in square feet = f
  • Equation relating m to f =?

According to standard conversion, the area in square in square meter is related to area in square feet as follow:

1 square meter = 10.8 square feet

But, we were told above that area in square meter is m and area in square feet is f. Thus, we have:

1 square meter = 10.8 square feet

Therefore,

m × 10.8 = f

10.8m = f

Thus,

f = 10.8m

Now, we can conclude that the equation that relates m to f is: f = 10.8 m. Thus, correct answer is option D
